"Hmph, you've finally arrived." Commander SERN seemed to have anticipated Lian's arrival, and he said with a sneer, "However, do you think you can succeed so easily?"

Chapter 386 Hard to guard against

Li An ignored him and quickly began searching for the device that manipulated the world lines. His eyes were sharp, not missing a single corner.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers charged towards him. Li An's eyes sharpened, and he swiftly launched an attack. His figure weaved through the enemy ranks like a black lightning bolt, making him impossible for them to defend against.

"Damn it, how can this guy be so strong!" the commander shouted angrily, a hint of panic on his face.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Lian finally found the device to manipulate the world lines. He quickly activated the device and, using his understanding of the laws governing world line changes, began to control the world lines.

As the timeline shifted, SERN descended into chaos. Soldiers began killing each other, and the entire headquarters was thrown into disarray.

"Now!" Li An seized the opportunity to rush towards the place where Mayuri was being held.

In a dimly lit room, Mayuri was tied to a chair, her eyes filled with terror. "Is anyone there? Help me..." she whispered.

"Mayuri!" Li An rushed in and quickly untied the ropes binding Mayuri.

"Li An, it really is you!" Mayuri exclaimed in surprise, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Quick, we have to get out of here right now!" Li An grabbed Mayuri's hand and ran outside.

Amidst the chaos, Lian also discovered the key technology to repair the world line. He successfully escaped SERN headquarters, taking Mayuri and the technical data with him.

Back at the Future Gadget Research Institute, everyone breathed a sigh of relief to see Li An and Mayuri return safely.

"Great! You're finally back!" Guo Yao ran over excitedly and hugged Li An tightly.

"Li An, you really did it!" Okabe Rintaro's eyes were full of admiration, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Li An was slightly out of breath, a tired smile on his face: "Next, it's time to fix the timeline."

He quickly began working to repair the world line. With his intervention, the world line gradually returned to normal, and Guo Yao's existence stabilized.

"We did it!" The crowd cheered, their faces beaming with joy.

"Li An, you're amazing!" Makise Kurisu walked over, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and admiration.

“Yes, his wisdom and abilities are truly amazing,” Amane Suzuha added from the side.

Kanda Yu stood to the side, looking at Li An with a complex expression in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "It seems I underestimated you." Although his tone was still somewhat arrogant, it carried a hint of approval.

Sunlight streamed softly through the window, bathing the room in its warmth. Li An sat quietly by the bed, watching the sleeping Guo Yao, his heart filled with relief. He had successfully repelled the Noah Clan's counterattack, and the original timeline of 493 had been restored; everything would return to peace. However, fate seemed to always play tricks on people, and the shadow of danger once again quietly loomed over the scene.

"Yaoyao, you should rest well. When you wake up, we'll go see all the beautiful scenery in the world," Li An said gently, holding Guo Yao's hand. Just then, Guo Yao's body suddenly trembled violently, her face turned as pale as paper, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Yao Yao!" Li An cried out in alarm, shaking Guo Yao's body in an attempt to wake her. However, Guo Yao remained unresponsive and unconscious. The others in the room, hearing the commotion, rushed over.

Chapter 387 Giving Her Power

"What happened? Why did Guo Yao suddenly faint?" Okabe Rintaro asked anxiously, his eyes revealing worry and confusion.

"I don't know either. Everything was fine just now, and then suddenly it turned into this." Li An's voice trembled slightly as he held Guo Yao's hands tightly, as if that would give her strength.

Looking at the unconscious Guo Yao, Shiina Mayuri's eyes glistened with tears: "Mayuri is so worried about Guo Yao-neechan, will she be alright?"

Hashida pushed up his glasses, his brows furrowed: "This is definitely related to the world line. We thought we had successfully fixed it, but is there some hidden problem?"

Li An took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "I have to re-examine the previous operations; something must have gone wrong." With that, he stood up and strode to the table full of instruments, beginning to carefully examine the devices that recorded world line data.

The atmosphere in the room was so tense it was suffocating. Everyone held their breath, silently watching Li An. Only the faint hum of the equipment broke the deathly silence.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, at the SERN base, a tense atmosphere prevailed. Their previous defeat had humiliated them, and this time, they were determined to make a comeback.

"Those guys dared to ruin our plans. This time, we'll make them pay!" a high-ranking SERN member roared angrily.

"Don't worry, we've dispatched our most elite agents this time. They'll definitely wipe those people out in one fell swoop," another person said confidently.

Soon, a group of agile agents infiltrated Akihabara. Dressed in black uniforms and wearing black masks, their eyes revealed coldness and ruthlessness. They searched everywhere for the whereabouts of Li An and his group, causing widespread panic wherever they went.

"Have you heard? There's a group of mysterious people searching everywhere for someone named Li An."

"Yeah, I don't know what they're up to, it's terrifying."

The whispers of the citizens reached Li An's ears. He realized that SERN agents had arrived.

"Everyone be careful, SERN agents are here. We must find a way to wake Guo Yao up as soon as possible, while also evading their pursuit," Li An said with a grave expression.

"Damn it, these guys are really persistent!" Okabe Rintaro angrily waved his fist.

"What should we do? They must be very strong." Shiina Mayuri hid behind Okabe Rintaro in fear.

"Don't panic, let's try to hide first, and then slowly find a solution," Hashida comforted him.

Just as they were discussing their strategy, a rapid knocking sounded at the door. Everyone's faces turned pale instantly, and they stared warily at the doorway.

"Who?" Li An asked loudly.

"It's me, Amanne Suzuha." A calm voice came from outside the door.

Li An quickly opened the door, and saw Awan Yinlingyu walk in with a serious expression: "I heard that SERN agents have arrived, and the situation is very critical. We must act as soon as possible."

"What can you do?" Li An asked anxiously.

“I can take you to a safe place, where we can continue our research on how to awaken Guo Yao,” Awan Yinlingyu said.

Everyone quickly packed their belongings and followed Amanne Suzuha out of the room. However, as soon as they stepped outside, they discovered a group of special agents walking towards them.

Chapter 388 The Agreed-Upon Location

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Hashida Itaru shouted in alarm.

"Everyone, split up and run, then meet at the agreed location!" Li An shouted, then grabbed Guo Yao and ran in one direction.

Seeing this, the agents immediately gave chase. As Li An ran, he searched for a way to shake them off. Suddenly, an idea struck him; using his superpower, he quickly analyzed the agents' movements.

“I have an idea! We’ll set a trap in the alley ahead and catch them all in one fell swoop,” Li An said.

Following Li An's instructions, the group quickly set up traps in the alley. Then, they hid to the side and quietly waited for the agents to arrive.

Soon, Agent 853 caught up. They cautiously entered the alley but found nothing unusual. Just as they were about to leave, the trap suddenly activated.

"Oh no!" the agents cried out in alarm, but it was too late. They were trapped in the trap and unable to move.

"Haha, we finally succeeded!" Hashida jumped up excitedly.

"Li An, you're amazing!" Rintaro Okabe's eyes shone with admiration.

Looking at the subdued agents, Li An smiled confidently: "Alright, we're safe for now. Let's go to a safe place and continue researching ways to wake Guo Yao up."

In the dimly lit room, the light flickered weakly, as if it might go out at any moment, casting a gloomy atmosphere over the entire space. Li An sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on Guo Yao lying on it, his gaze filled with anxiety and worry. His hand gently stroked Guo Yao's cheek; the touch was cold yet familiar, making his heart clench even tighter.

"Yaoyao, wake up, don't scare me..." Li An's voice was hoarse, choked with sobs, his lips trembling slightly, each word seeming to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart. During this time, he had tried various methods, consulted countless materials, and even used all the abilities of his top-tier Manga Master, but Guo Yao still showed no signs of waking up.

Just as Li An was sinking into despair, a rapid knocking broke the silence. Li An jumped up, strode to the door, and flung it open. There stood Okabe Rintaro, his hair disheveled, but his eyes gleaming with excitement. His signature black trench coat billowed with his movements, like a crow about to take flight.

"Lian! I have news!" Okabe Rintaro shouted, his voice echoing in the silent corridor, carrying a hint of madness and obsession.

Li An's eyes lit up instantly. He grabbed Okabe Rintaro's shoulder and asked eagerly, "What news? Tell me quickly!" His fingers turned white from the force, and the worry on his face was instantly replaced by anticipation.

"You might find clues to save your girlfriend at the Future Gadget Research Institute!" Okabe Rintaro said excitedly, a confident smile on his face, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.

Li An's heart suddenly raced. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Really? Then let's go quickly!" His eyes revealed a firm determination. He was willing to pay any price to save Guo Yao.

Inside the futuristic gadget research institute, all sorts of bizarre instruments flickered with eerie lights and emitted buzzing sounds, as if telling tales of the world's mystery and unknown. The walls were covered with various circuits and blueprints, and the floor was piled high with parts and unfinished products; the entire space was permeated with a tense yet mysterious atmosphere.

Chapter 389 Can You Hear Me Speak?

Li An searched anxiously throughout the research institute, his eyes scanning every corner, not missing a single possible clue. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon an ancient device in a corner. The device looked very old, its surface covered in dust, yet it exuded a mysterious aura, as if beckoning him.

“This is…” Li An stepped forward, gently wiped the dust off the device, and carefully examined it. His fingers lightly touched the patterns on the device, and a strange sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.

Just then, Guo Yao, who was lying on the bed, seemed to stir. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her fingers twitched gently. Li An immediately noticed this subtle change, his heart raced, and he rushed to Guo Yao's side, tightly grasping her hand.

"Yaoyao, can you hear me?" Li An's voice trembled, filled with anticipation. His eyes were fixed on Guo Yao's face, as if trying to find the answer in her expression.

Guo Yao's fingers twitched slightly again, as if responding to Li An's call. A warm feeling welled up in Li An's heart, and a surprised smile appeared on his face: "Yao Yao, you're awake? That's great!" His voice was filled with joy and excitement, and his eyes were slightly moist.

Everyone around was moved by the scene. Shiina Mayuri covered her mouth, tears glistening in her eyes, and said, "Mayuri is so happy! It seems like Guo Yao is about to wake up!" Her voice was slightly choked, and her face was filled with a pure smile.

Hashida Itaru smiled with relief, pushing up his glasses. "It seems this device really has a problem. Maybe it can actually save Guo Yao." His eyes revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation, filled with curiosity about this mysterious device.

Makise Kurisu stood to the side, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and surprise: "This device... could it be related to the world line?" Her brows furrowed slightly as she fell into deep thought.

Amane Rinyu watched all this quietly, a hint of relief and anticipation in her eyes: "I hope this is a good start." Her voice was calm yet firm, as if she were encouraging everyone.

Tongzi scratched his head and smiled憨厚ly: "Anyway, it's good that there's a turning point." His face was filled with a sincere smile that warmed people's hearts.

Ignoring the reactions of those around him, Li An's entire attention was focused on Guo Yao. He held Guo Yao's hand tightly, as if it were the most important thing in his life. Guo Yao's fingers twitched slightly, seemingly trying to respond to Li An's warmth. The atmosphere between them became ambiguous and sweet, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

Just then, the device suddenly emitted a bright light, flashing with various strange symbols and patterns. Li An was startled by this sudden change, but he quickly calmed down and began to carefully observe the symbols and patterns.

As he observed further, Lian's expression grew increasingly serious. He discovered that these symbols and patterns concealed a deeper secret about the worldline. This secret might be the key to solving all the problems.

"This...how is this possible?" Li An muttered to himself, his eyes revealing shock and excitement. He realized that he might have found a way to save Guo Yao and fix the timeline.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside. Everyone rushed out to investigate and saw a group of SERN soldiers charging towards the research institute. Their faces were cold, their hands were armed, and they exuded an aura of oppression.
